Does your partner do nights?

My partner doesn't really get up with the baby. He'll occasionally do bedtime, but otherwise I do bedtime, the night wake-ups and then I'm up with him in the morning. This was the agreement during my maternity leave on the basis I could catch up on sleep during the day. But now I'm back at work, I'm struggling. Cur...

Contact naps at night

Hi there! My LO is 3 months and we normally put her down between 9 and 10pm. She wakes up for a feed between 2.39 and 4.30am but around 6am she wakes up again and would only contact nap until 9ish. Anyone in a similar position?

Please help

My baby has woken up like clock work and every morning at around 5am. He cries and sounds in pain and it's hard to settle him. I've heard somewhere that some babies wake up around this time with pain in stomach. He doesn't seem to poo during the night so maybe that's why... anyone else???

Sleeping on me

Hello! My daughter is 4 weeks old and for the last 2 nights has slept in me or my partner. She stirs and wakes everytime I put her down. From 1- wake I haven’t slept as she was on me and she was on my partner before hand. What do you do if you can’t put them down? I feel at a loss. My first daughter did some chunks ...

Sleep rant (help needed!)

My lo (just one) used to wake up once a night for milk (bf) and I was ok with that. For the last four weeks, her sleep at night has been awful , with multiple wakes. We try to feed her milk and then cuddle back to sleep, we often give her Calpol too. When she used to wake, I’d BF her back to sleep but I’ve reduced ...

Co- sleeping 😢

I absolutely love co-sleeping with my baby. It’s one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. We follow the safe sleeping guidelines but last night I came across a post talking about mattress firmness. I have a medium/firm mattress & thought this had been fine all along. I’ve been co-sleeping for 4 months now....

Sleep regression, separation anxiety or just trying to drive me crazy 😅

Hey mamas! My lo had his first birthday 2 weeks ago but shortly after has became very attached, needing cuddled for naps, bedtime and when he’s put down he’s upset wanting cuddled to sleep again. His routine is non existent anymore no matter how hard I try to keep him to it. Every night he’s waking needing to cuddle...

Baby weeing too much?

My girl can pee up to 4-6 times one after the other after a feed. While I’m changing her she often does another wee on the mat once I take the nappy off and the air hits. No sooner have I got the fresh nappy on and walk back downstairs from her changing mat, she can be screaming again and she’s done another wee! It’...

Is this normal toddler behaviour

My 3yr old toddler, happy screams during the day while playing or at times just randomly. She's been doing it at night, too. Like tonight, she woke up at 2am and has been high pitch screaming since off and on for more than an hour now. Just happy screams. She's wide awake. I have a baby who was woken up by her loud ...

How long should a newborn go without a bottle?

My little boy is nearly 5 weeks old and when he was first born me or my partner was waking him up religiously between 2-3 hours to make sure he was having enough (little boy lost too much birth weight due to not latching on). Now we let him let us know when he wants feeding which when he was on 4oz was about every 3...
